“Welcome Home!” we say to Burners and friends! “Benvenuto a Casa !” in the language of Leonardo da Vinci - artist, inventor, eternally inquiring mind. We are calling out across the grid, welcome Home to the Playa! You’re invited to our next Big Burn we call Da Vinci’s Workshop set to open in just two weeks!

The playa is now filled with camps of every sort, creativity overflowing, inspiration radically expressed and the dusty air is rich with anticipation and excitement. Musicians tuning their instruments, dancers going through their steps, DJs planning their playlists, and artists continually adding more gifts and mischievously fun touches to their camps.

And oh, the Man will Burn! As is our annual custom, we will Burn the Man on Saturday the 22nd of October, followed by the Temple Burn on Sunday the 23rd. You are all invited to come share in the tradition once again - the events will be noted on the BURN2 calendar, found via the menu at left on our website at burn2.org.

Second Life and the Disabled on YouTube

Debbi Latte, a singer in Second Life, came across this YouTube of how Second Life can aid the disabled, "I'm so excited that Second Life is getting some GOOD press for being helpful for someone."

Many readers here are probably familiar with how those with disabilities are better able to interact with others, entertain themselves, and more importantly to some, do something useful and feel a sense of purpose. For one woman with multiple sclerosis in this video, she found something unexpected: an offer for a job in real life.
